EP:32 Military Humor & Freud: A Tribute to Gil Ott (Part 1)
Show Notes

Episode 32 of Veteran Et Cetera delves into my audio essay into "military humor".  Mike Kim discusses the dynamic of military humor and remembers the humor of Gil Ott, a classmate from Yale who was also a combat veteran (Vietnam). Mike ties in Freud's concept of therapeutic humor. Also, there is information about Freud's case study called "The Ratman" involving a soldier who could have benefitted from humor as a more advanced level of coping with military stress.
